Napoleon vs. Helen Keller

"The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of Hell, a hell of Heaven."
- Milton
"Napoleon and Helen Keller are perfect illustrations of Milton's statement: Napoleon had everything men usually crave -- glory, power, riches -- yet he said at Saint Helena, 'I have never known six happy days in my life'; while Helen Keller -- blind, deaf, dumb -- declared: 'I have found life so beautiful.'

If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that as Emerson put it, 'Nothing can bring you  peace but yourself.'"

-Dale Carnegie
"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."
-Randy Pausche

Is there a good side to temptation?

"There is a law written across the universe, that no one shall be crowned unless he has first struggled. No halo of merit rests suspended over those who do not fight.
Ice deserves no credit for being cold, nor fire for being hot; it is only those who have the possibility of choice that can be praised for their acts. It is through temptation and its strain that the depths of character are revealed."
-Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Blessed is he who endures under trials. When he has proved his worth, He will win that crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.             James 1:12

"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life, which is required to be exchanged for it immediately or in the long run."

-Henry David Thoreau
